Great little attic antenna!
This is a very strong antenna for it's size. It was my choice based on a review from another customer that lives in the same area. I get over 40 channels, strong. That being said, for those of you out there that might be "assembly challenged" allow me to amend the instructions from China that seem to lose something in translation. Here we go. Prior to starting assembly, remove all wing nuts from the screws included. You will notice that one of the attach screws has a flat washer on it. Set that one off to the side by itself for later. This will leave you with three. Next, the main arm comes in two pieces, the rear piece with the pole clamp on it has a label identifying the antenna. That label is the bottom. Attach the two pieces together using the sandwich clamps, wingnuts and screws. The wing nuts attach at the bottom. Now, refer to drawing "B". Using another screw, slide into recess on what they call the dipole box. Install on main arm per the pictures. One thing the pictures neglect to show,On the main arm, where the dipole attaches to it, you will notice that the top part of the main arm (Remember, the bottom has an ID sticker) has a main attach hole and a second smaller hole. The dipole assembly has the screw hole and a guide pin that fits in the smaller hole Insert screw and wingnut and tighten Next come the reflector arms . Using the screw you set aside earlier, take the flat washer off the screw. Insert the screw into the reflector arm that has a recessed area for the screw head to go into. Now you take the reflector arm and line it up to the main arm per diagram "C" Your other reflector arm matches it's mate on the other side. Fit the two sides together. Once the screw is through the entire assembly, install the flat washer on the flat screw hole reflector arm and tighten. Your antenna is assembled. One more trick. You get a weather proof cover for the coax attach point on the dipole receiver. I cut off the tampered sleeve because I found it much to narrow to allow the F-connector to go through. a dab of light cooking oil on the outside off the F-connector screw on made passing the wire through easy work. A dab, not the whole bottle! Refer to Step 4. There are no pictures that show the cover. You'll get the idea. I hope this helps!
